W

e are at a pivotal moment in history
where leadership diversity has never
been more important to organizations'
relevance and success. Our customers,
our employees and our society demand
it. As Katherine Phillips wrote in a 2014
Scientific American research report
- the less homogeneous a team's
representation - the greater its creativity,
work ethic, ability to innovate, and
capacity for complex problem-solving
will be. Considering the accelerating
challenges organizations are facing,
leadership diversity is a clear imperative.
However, the role of learning and
development (L&D) in driving leadership
diversity has been less clear. In larger
organizations, ownership of the talent
pipeline rests with human resources (HR)
or talent management groups, where
diversity recruitment and promotion and
pay equity initiatives are emphasized.
Meanwhile, learning functions have
primarily driven the delivery of formal
leadership training and diversity training
across all levels of the organization.
Within more robust leadership diversity
initiatives, L&D might support formal,
structured mentoring programs intended
to extend the benefits of mentorship
to a more diverse audience of
prospective leaders.
So, how well does this model work?
Sadly, McKinsey's 2020 " Women in the
Workplace " report found that leadership
pipelines are still nowhere near where
they need to be. Traditional, formal
leadership training events and standard
mentoring programs have insufficiently
prepared potential leaders to step
into their new roles. As organizational
consultants, learning professionals have
an obligation to help their organizations
do better.
Learning teams need to partner with
human resources, recruiting and talent
teams to identify gaps and opportunities
from initial recruitment to broader
organizational culture initiatives. Then,
L&D leaders should use their findings
to inform the design of initiatives that
source and develop diverse talent
throughout the leadership pipeline.
